    Feet down in work car park as first in and nobody had cleared a path.

    Bike rack (covered) was fun stopping downhill, bit like a speedway rider for
    a second.

    AOL. I got up at 9.10, came downstairs, made a cuppa, rolled a fag, &
    am currently reading emails & UKRM. I expect I'll commute back upstairs
    in 10 mins or so.
    I got stuck in a small cat tailback on the landing, but it cleared very
    quickly.

    There wasn't here half an hour ago. Now it's chucking it down, &
    everything's looking very white already. Should get to you by lunchtime
    I would think.

    Just bee to our sheltered garden to measure. 5" so far. It's been coming
    down all morning.

    Looks like it's just easing off, but we fully expect worse from about 1300.
    SWMBO didn't go in.

    That's a whoosh of cataclysmic proportions.

    It took me an hour and three quarters to get from Bracknell to
    Maidenhead.

    I'm not going to tempt sods law by denying the possibility but we are
    protected by the Mendips. It usually all gets dumped up there before
    it gets to us.

    Err no.

    As the MetO, GFS et al had forecasts for weather like this since the end
    of last week I thought it was worth pointing out. Whether (no pun
    intended) the media made enough noise about it is not the fault of the
    forecasters.

    I suspect you'd get away with it anyway. It's virtually stopped here
    now after a mere 1/4" & the wind's died right down.

    Heh. If that's a straight bat, it's really jolly straight indeed. Hint
    - ogden was being sarcastic.
